Slowly switching to orange. Still a bit of red stragglers left. SATA cables are proving to be a challenge. Thinking I'm going to paint some black ones and see how it goes.

I absolutely love black/orange color scheme in cases! I few years ago I build a HL2 case mode and at that time, orange hardware was unheard of.

The Xigmatek fans really turned me on to it. Those fans are just gorgeous. I really wanted to get the Biostar Z77 board that was orange to go with everything, but they were OOS everywhere for a good 2-3 weeks when I was ready to buy, so I went with the mostly neutral Asrock Extreme6.

Yes I'm one of those people that buys hardware based on what it looks like, lol.

Reminds me, I have to finish my taxes... Hopefully I'll run into some extra money as well.

Likely adding another radiator to my CPU loop, de-lidding, and going nuts.

Or adding another 360 rad and dropping the fan speeds down really low to make the machine very silent.

Decided to try liquid cooling, Corsair H110. Also added some braided cables. Most likely next up is braided USB cables.

Built this just last night. Pretty happy with the results. Will rearrange cable again tonight for a cleaner look.

Looks good, even with cables the way they are! I know quite a few here like to make them invisible though. Nice looking case. I like the black and white contrast.

I'm curious if you've tried turning off / blocking the rear lower fan to see if that improves temperatures. It looks like the straight air path through the bottom might not do much.
